Solution	St. Joseph selected Absolute so they could maintain a reliable connection to these devices, allowing them to protect the sensitive patient data stored on each endpoint. The persistent two-way connection provided by Absolute allows St. Joseph to secure this data even if a device is off the network. St. Joseph also uses Absolute DDS to verify the current user of each device. The deployed devices are shared by health professionals, and Absolute helps understand the user history of each tablet. This user history is very helpful and a great tool to keep tabs on their fleet. Like most healthcare providers, St. Joseph is required to maintain HIPAA compliance, a feat that would be incredibly difficult without Absolute DDS. Endpoint security without Absolute is a scary thought, and their compliance officer has complete peace-of-mind knowing they can maintain a connection with each device.
